Abstract:
Our way of life isn't working anymore. People are losing their jobs, their homes, their neighborhoods - and even their hope for a just society. We urgently need a new story to live by, based on fairness - not simply on the accumulation of wealth and "survival of the fittest." The Bond offers a radical new blueprint for living a more harmonious, prosperous, and connected life. International bestselling author Lynne Mctaggart demonstrates with hard science that we are living contrary to our true nature. In fact, life doesn't have to be I win, you lose; we have been designed to succeed and prosper when we work as part of a greater whole. The Bond proves that we are weak when we compete, and thrive only when we cooperate and connect deeply with each other. In this seminal book of our age, McTaggart also offers a complete program of practical tools and exercises to help you enjoy closer relationships - across even the deepest divides - encourage a more connected workplace, rebuild a united neighborhood, and become a powerful, global agent of change.
